  • Patent number: 4817539
    Abstract: A pollution-free waste reclamation furnace which is comprised of a forced air burn chamber for burning presorted combustible non-petroleum derivative waste. A petroleum derivative waste cooking ring-like chamber, which is at least partially surrounded by the burn chamber, has an oil bath therein for receiving and cooking petroleum derivative waste wherein the waste is heated until it melts and dissolves within the oil to form sweet crude. A solid waste cage operably moves through the oil in the ring chamber to collect undissolved non-petroleum derivative solid waste to thereby remove such undissolved solid waste from the cooking ring chamber. An exhaust stack is provided having a spiraling exhaust gas tunnel wrapped therearound wherein the tunnel is in flow communication with the burn chamber where exhaust gases rise and pass therethrough. A plurality of steam jets are within the tunnel along with a plurality of openings permitting communication between the tunnel and the inside of the stack.
